 Hey friends, welcome back to my channel and welcome to another weekly WW meal prep boy Do I have a lot to show you in this week's meal prep? I'm going to be prepping my breakfast my lunches I'm going to be making a muffin and then I'm also going to be making a skinny kitchen ranch Skinny is dish crock-pot marinara, and I'm going to be shredding some chicken out of my instant pot So it is going to be a busy busy meal prep day So if you want to see everything that I'm going to be having for breakfast lunch snacks and a couple extra recipes thrown your way Just keep watching So the first thing I'm going to do this morning is get some chicken going in my instant pot I need shredded chicken for both my chicken fried rice for my lunches as well as a dinner So I will typically go ahead and just cook my chicken in my instant pot Only because it is quick and easy and the cleanup is super easy You will notice that I did not put any liquid in this time because my chicken is still Mostly frozen so it will have liquid as it starts to de-thought and or thought in the cooking process So I'm going to go ahead and get my instant pot going get my chicken cooked And then I'm going to show you again my trick for shredding chicken that makes it super easy I just pulled my chicken out of the instant pot now the best way to shred chicken Believe it or not is using your hand mixer I have shown this in the past, but I wanted to show you guys those of you that are new one more time So you're going to want your chicken in a rather large bowl because it is going to somewhat fling chicken around You're just going to turn on your mixer And you're just going to bring it through all of your pieces of chicken and literally you guys in a matter of minutes You have perfectly shredded chicken every single time Look at that. Look at how perfectly shredded that is and literally you just bring it throughout all the chicken in your bowl And voila, you have shredded chicken and there's your shredded chicken So what I do is I normally put it in a storage bowl Pop a lid on it and then it is ready to go for meal prep for the week So again, I'm going to need this in my lunch prep as well as for a dinner recipe It just saves you a lot of time if you just pre prep pre shred your chicken Next I'm going to get started on my skiniish dish crock pot marinara This is my all-time favorite marinara in the world. It is zero smart points. No matter how much you have It is so easy. You just pop it into your crock pot and at the end of the day you have marinara So let me show you what is in this recipe So you're going to need two cans of petite diced tomatoes I have found that it is worth the investment on the hunts It makes the marinara much better than any other brand generic or other brand name So I highly recommend picking up the hunts. You're also going to need three cans of crushed tomatoes Some garlic and quite a few spices. So you're going to need some ground black pepper Some onion. I'm going to use minced onion because I like the smaller pieces in my marinara some oregano some basil some red pepper flakes and Some salt so I'm going to get everything into my crock pot and then I will show you what the main marinara looks like Before we get it started cooking So here is everything in the crock pot marinara. So I have my crushed tomatoes my petite diced My minced onion basil pepper Red pepper flakes. I did not put very much because we don't really like spicy I've got some pink Himalayan sea salt And I can't remember what this is. Oh oregano and Minced garlic. So there you have it I'm going to go ahead and put this on the low and I'm going to let this cook the entire day And then when it is done, I will show you guys how I jar it up and store it All right. So here is my completed marinara. Look at that you guys Yum So it would that batch made to full-size 32 I believe ounce ball jars and it also made two smaller containers I do like to have smaller containers available only because sometimes I want it just for pizza I don't want a whole 32 ounce or regular-sized jar of marinara sauce. So this is one recipe I will give you a tip if you are going to freeze it like I do Make sure that you leave at least an inch from the top of your container so that it has a chance to expand When you freeze it so for containers out of that batch of marinara I'm just going to pop these into my freezer once they are cooled And then you just pull them out the night before and then they defrost and you have absolutely perfect marinara every single time For breakfast this week. I'm super excited. I am making copycat cracker barrel hash brown casserole Who doesn't love cracker barrel hash brown casserole? Seriously, it's the best But I am going to modify it and make it ww friendly Super super excited for this breakfast. So here's what you need for the casserole You're going to need some non-stick cooking spray some salt minced onion pepper low fat or fat-free cream of chicken soup Reduced fat sour cream light butter Frozen shredded hash brown potatoes and then I'm going to do a mix of fat-free shredded cheese And traitor joe's light shredded mozzarella. I do want it to be a little bit more cheesy like cracker barrel So I'm going to do a mix of the fat-free and the light mozzarella So let's get started on our cracker barrel hash brown casserole So the first thing we need to do for our cracker barrel hash brown casserole Is we're going to take our non-stick cooking spray and we are going to coat the entire 9 by 13 Baking dish and then to that we're going to go ahead and add our entire bag of hash browns The recipe actually calls for a little bit more than this But i'm just going to go ahead and add this one bag It'll make it really easy to figure out the points that way So you're just going to spread that out as evenly as possible in the bottom of your casserole dish So you are going to want your hash browns to be Almost all the way thawed so that you can break them apart and spread them out And then you want to just give them a nice push down And then that way you're making sure that you've kind of got that nice hash brown base for your cast once you've pushed down your hash brown potatoes We're going to go ahead and add a little bit of salt and pepper and season those So go ahead and do some salt and some pepper As much as you'd like just to add a little bit of flavor to your hash brown casserole And then next up we are actually going to be putting Our butter into the microwave. This is four ounces of light butter. We're going to get this in the microwave Next you're going to go ahead and pull your melted butter out of the microwave And to that we are going to be adding eight ounces of light sour cream And everything can just go into this bowl here I went ahead and measured out the sour cream on my food scale along with the butter So go ahead and add your sour cream and then you're going to add one half of a cup of minced onions Give that a quick stir And then lastly you're going to go ahead and add your can of cream of chicken soup Give this a nice mixture or a nice mix and then we're going to pour this over the top of our casserole Once you get everything all mixed together you can see that I got a bigger bowl So pro tip get a bigger bowl. You're going to take your hash brown mixture and to that We're going to go ahead and add all of our Soup sour cream butter and onion mixture to the top We're going to spread it out nice and evenly And then the last step is we're going to add our cheese. So this is actually a very simple recipe to make And this recipe calls for 10 servings I'm going to input everything into the recipe builder and when I plate it up I'll let you guys know how many servings I decided to do and what the smart points were So get that nice and spread out evenly over the top of your hash brown Mixture, this looks so good. It's crazy. I would have never thought this is how They made their hash brown casserole using chicken soup But it is so there we go and then lastly we are going to go ahead and add two cups of cheese You can see here that I have a little bit of the trader joe's light shredded mozzarella one cup of that And then I have one cup of fat free. So I'm just going to evenly Put it out over the top of my casserole I want to get a little bit of both cheeses over the top And again, I did that to try to save on some points By using the fat free cheese because it is zero smart points Versus the trader joe's light to melt light mozzarella is one smart point per ounce So that should allow us to save a little bit of smart points But we'll still get that nice cheesy texture from the trader joe's light shredded mozzarella So look at that you guys yum. This is going to go in the oven at 350 until it is completely cooked through So anywhere from 40 to 45 minutes So I will be back with the magic of youtube to show you our completed casserole I just pulled the cracker barrel hash brown casserole out of the oven. Look at this you guys Yum, it is so cheesy So delicious looking. I cannot wait. I'm going to let this cool and then I'll cut this Put it into my meal prep container with my bacon and eggs And show you what my completed breakfast for the week are going to be looking like but this you guys This is comfort food for breakfast for sure So here's the casserole. I did go ahead and cut it into 10 servings I did just have one serving for lunch. It was phenomenal. You guys this tastes just like the cracker barrel hash brown casserole Literally just like the casserole. So there is a total of five servings left and then over here Here's what I'm having for breakfast. So there is one serving of the cracker barrel hash brown casserole I have two scrambled eggs and two strips of center cut bacon Neither the bacon or eggs are cooked all the way through and that is a tip for you guys Do not cook your eggs and bacon all the way through So when you warm them up it finishes the cooking process and the the eggs aren't spongy and the bacon isn't hard as a rock So that is my breakfast with the casserole the eggs and the bacon for four days. I'm you guys I'm so excited. I love this casserole at cracker barrel and i'm telling you This is literally just as good. So the casserole In five is five smart points for one tenth of the casserole So this is five smart points two slices of my center cut bacon is one my eggs are zero I have some grapes destem and washed which is also zero So my breakfast is a total of six smart points for all of this food All of this cracker barrel food For part of my lunches this week. I'm going to be making chicken fried rice Using a mixture of both cauliflower rice and regular rice to lower the smart points I'm going to pair this with some wontons. I'm so excited. So let me show you what I am putting into my chicken fried rice So first you're going to need some sort of rice about eight ounces of brown or white rice I'm omitting the olive oil and instead I'm going to use olive. I'm sorry avocado oil spray or non-stick cooking spray You're going to need some light soy sauce some sesame oil some eggs some minced onion or very finely chopped onion some ground ginger minced garlic green onions mixed vegetables bacon And cauliflower rice. I'm going to go ahead and use two bags of the cauliflower Medley, but you could just use plain cauliflower rice as well Because you are going to be adding in some mixed vegetables And then you're going to need some shredded chicken. So let's get started on our fried rice So the first thing we're going to do to get our fried rice going is I've got quite a large pan here because everything Is going to be cooked in this one pan. So I'm going to spray it really well with my avocado oil spray So I'll get it nice and sprayed and then to that I'm going to go ahead and add in my minced garlic I'm going to let it cook down for just a few seconds until it becomes fragrant And then we will go ahead and add in our crumbled bacon I did just go ahead and cook this in the microwave And then I'm going to be using minced onion. So I'll be adding in the minced onion as well Once your garlic has become fragrant and you add in your bacon and your onion We're going to go ahead and add in our shredded chicken So you want about a cup or so of shredded chicken chicken is zero points on freestyle So feel free to add as much as you would like And then we're also going to add in our two bags of rice cauliflower medley So you want to add that in you can add it in frozen. It's no problem at all So go ahead and add your two bags of rice cauliflower And then lastly you're going to go ahead and you're going to add in one cup of rice So I have one cup of cooked rice So we're going to go ahead and add that in give this a nice big stir And we're going to let it cook down Over medium high heat for a while Then we're going to pump it up to high heat to get it nice and brown and crispy like fried rice Lastly while it's cooking you're going to go ahead and add in your mixed vegetables And we're going to let this cook down till everything is nice and warmed up And partially cooked and then we'll go ahead and do that cranking up of the heat Once your cauliflower and rice fried rice starts to cook down Go ahead and crank up the heat on your stove to high And we're going to let this cook until it is browning and crispy And then we're going to add in the last few ingredients and we are done This is a really really easy recipe and it smells amazing Once your fried rice starts to get nice and crispy go ahead and make a hole in the middle and add in your two eggs We're going to go ahead and let those scramble in Mix that in with the rest of our rice and that'll give really the ultimate fried rice fried rice always has eggs in it So you're just going to get that all nice and mixed throughout your rice We are very very steamy and then we'll add the last few ingredients soy sauce sesame oil and ginger Once your egg gets nice and scrambled in you're going to go ahead and add in some soy sauce You can add it into your liking. I prefer quite a bit of soy sauce in my fried rice You can always taste it and add more if needed And then we're also going to go ahead and add in one tablespoon of sesame oil You can omit this but I think it gives a really nice flavor to our fried rice It definitely makes it a lot more authentic tasting. So again one tablespoon of sesame oil And then lastly you're going to go ahead and add in some ground ginger Give this a good stir let it cook down for just a few more minutes to let those flavors melt And then your fried rice is done And there is our fried rice. Look at that. I had a little taste of this This is better than chinese food fried rice and it is mostly cauliflower rice. That is crazy to me Absolutely delicious. This huge bowl is only for servings. So let me go ahead and get the wontons cooked I'll fill my meal prep containers and I'll show you my entire lunch and show you the smart points This is going to be a lot of food for really really low smart points Also for my lunches this week. I'm going to be making wontons in my air fryer I am modifying an agro recipe. So I'm actually going to just list the recipe that I did down in the description box below It is very modified because I wasn't able to find agro wrappers So let me show you what I'm going to be putting into my wontons So first I'm going to be adding in some 93 7 lean ground turkey. You can also use 99 fat free But because I have chicken in my cauliflower fried rice I do not want to have a second zero point protein. So I'm going to go ahead and use one that has some points You're also going to need some wonton wrappers Some shredded cabbage Some julienne or shredded carrots Some sort of cooking spray Ground ginger and also some garlic powder. So let's start putting these wontons together So for our wontons, I have added one pound of the 93 7 lean ground turkey here to my bowl To that I'm going to be adding some garlic powder I just want to season my meat a little bit before I roll it into my wonton wrappers I'm also going to go ahead and add in some ground ginger And then I'm going to add in just some coleslaw mix And some julienne carrots. So this is just going to add just that little bit of veggies to the mix So go ahead and add in as much as you want. Remember your wrappers are fairly small So you don't want to go too crazy on your filling ingredients because you won't be able to fit them in the little wrapper And then we're going to add in just some julienne carrots as well And then you're going to put your hands in the mix guys and you're going to mix this all together Mix your turkey in with your cabbage and your carrots as well as in with your Garlic powder and your ginger and you're going to get this nice and mixed together And then we are going to start filling our wonton wrappers So you can modify this recipe and add whatever you want to the filling of your wontons I'm just trying to keep them low point because I am also having that cauliflower fried rice Which I'm stoked about along with my wontons So get that nice and mixed up and then you're ready to start rolling into your wonton wrapper All right. Once you are ready to fill your wrappers, you're going to go ahead and grab out your wonton wrappers I'm going to have four wontons each day. So super easy. Go ahead and lay your wonton wrapper out flat You're also going to want to have a little bit of water on hand And here I have my tray for my air fryer So you've got to watch the amount of filling that you're putting into your wontons You don't want to do too much or you won't be able to fold them up So that's about the perfect amount of filling in your wonton And then you're basically going to just simply fold up all of your edges To combine your filling right into the middle there And then you're going to take your little bit of water and you're going to dab it on Your fold piece of your wonton and then there you have it You're going to lay it face side down onto your tray or into your air fryer basket So that it doesn't come open and then when they're done you can flip them over So you're just going to repeat that process until you have just the right amount of wontons So i'm actually prepping for four days because i'm actually off of work on tuesday So i need to make sure that i have a total of 16 Wontons because i want to make sure that i have four available to me each day That i'm going to pair with my fried rice. So super easy You just got to be careful when you're folding and filling just not to overfill your wontons Once you have your wontons all nice and wrapped up you can wrap them in any shape that you want We are going to take some of our avocado oil and we're just going to spray them Before we put them into our air fryer. It just makes them nice and brown and crispy, but these look delicious I'm going to pop them into my air fryer for about 10 to 15 minutes until they are cooked through And then I will show you the completed wontons and we'll load up my mail prep containers for the week So I just put my wontons into my air fryer. This is the air fryer that I have This is the power air fryer oven elite. I love this air fryer. It is more like an oven So your food actually goes in on trays rather than in a basket So you can definitely cook more food There's even another level here if you wanted to add a third tray You can do rotisserie chicken in here. You can have use a basket and do vegetables or french fries I love my air fryer. It is linked down in my amazon store and that link is down in the description box So I popped my Wontons in there. We'll go ahead and get this closed We want to go ahead and get this going at about 375 and it's going to automatically set it for 15 minutes Which is perfect and this air fryer also has a light So that you can take a look at your food as it's cooking So I will be back as soon as these come out of the oven and we'll get the mail prep container all put together I just pulled the wontons out of the air fryer. These look so delicious Crispy just like they were deep fried But not with just the flavor So I'm going to let these cool for just a moment And then I'm going to go ahead and put everything into my mail prep container And then I will be showing you what my completed lunch for the week looks like So here is my completed lunches for the week. I'm stoked to have this for lunch So let me show you exactly what i'm going to be having So here I have one fourth of the chicken fried cauliflower rice That is going to be a total of three smart points I also have four of my air fried wontons for another three smart points in this little container here I have half of a tablespoon just shy of half of a tablespoon of the trader joe's soiyaki So that will add an additional zero Smart points as soon as you hit a half a tablespoon to a tablespoon It is one smart point So I just made sure that I added just a little bit to a container here to have with my lunch So i'm going to be having the cauliflower fried rice Four wontons with a little bit of soiyaki Every day and this you guys is only six smart points for this entire lunch six smart points Super excited very filling very low smart point I will probably pair that with one to two of the halos and then for dessert I will have one of my d2 or lean muscle bites I have these also linked in my amazon store below so make sure that you guys check those out So this is my eight point Smart point or eight smart point lunch as a tongue twister super excited about my lunch this week For a snack this week and even for a sweet treat I'm going to be modifying a little bit the recipe that I found on Jess's youtube channel It is called ww journey to healthy. She has a fabulous channel with excellent content I would recommend if you haven't already that you check out her channel But I'm going to be making coffee muffins. I am so excited as you know, I love me some coffee So let me show you what is in our muffins So the modification that I'm making is I'm going to be topping my muffins with the really crumbly Pieces of granola. So a lot of you have asked what do I do with the powdery granola left at the very bottom After I've eaten all the big chunks. Well, my friends This is a perfect use for that granola And that is to top your muffins with it for that nice crumb texture for zero additional smart points So that is exactly what I'm going to be doing. I'm going to top my muffins with a little bit of the powdery Granola from the espresso cluster. I do have a discount code for julian bakery granola It will be here on the screen and down in the description box below I'm obsessed with this granola. You can actually have two cups for only or i'm sorry half of a cup for only two smart points So definitely recommend picking yourself up some pro granola. They have Four different flavors to choose from but today i'm going to be using the espresso cluster You're also going to need a box of sugar-free cake mix You're going to need eight ounces of strong brewed coffee. So I went ahead and pulled some espresso Braville espresso out of my coffee maker It is the best. I love my coffee maker so much. It is in my amazon store as well, which is linked down below You're going to need three eggs Some powdered espresso. This is the nescafe extra dark roast espresso instant powder And then you're going to need some non-fat greek yogurt. So let's get going on our coffee muffins To get started on our coffee muffins The first thing that you're going to do is go ahead and empty your box of sugar-free cake mix Into a bowl and we are going to put everything into this bowl. So it makes it super easy You're going to go ahead and add in your three eggs You're going to add in your eight ounces of strong brewed espresso or coffee And then you're going to add in one third cup of non-fat greek yogurt So you're going to add that and then lastly we are going to be adding in our little packet of instant espresso So we'll add that you're going to give this a nice stir And then we'll be ready to put this into our muffin tins But this already smells amazing because you can smell that coffee with the sweetness of the cake mix So I am excited as you know, I love me some coffee So we're going to go ahead and get this all nice and mixed up and then we'll get ready to put this into our muffin tins Once you have your batter all nice and mixed together You're going to go ahead and grab your muffin tin Either line it with a muffin liner or go ahead and spray it with some non-stick cooking spray The recipe makes 20 muffins So i'm going to use a quarter cup scoop here and i'm just going to fill my muffins I want to make sure that i'm reserving enough for eight additional muffins And then once we get our muffin cups all filled we will go ahead and add a little bit of our espresso crunch pro granola To the top of each of our muffins. So we'll get these filled up and then we'll get these ready to go Once you get your muffin Tin nice and filled look at how good these look you're going to go ahead and get out your pro granola So make sure that you're getting just the small powdery pieces none of the big chunks And we're literally just going to put just a little bit on the top of each of our muffins Remember the pro granola does have some nuts in it and some coconut flakes, which is just fine I don't think it's going to make any difference on top of our muffins But we're just going to get that nice little bit of crumble on top And then our muffins will be good to go you're going to put these in the oven at 350 until they are completely cooked through I just pulled the coffee muffins out of the oven.
